Directions:
- In a medium bowl, macerate the berries with the sugar, Strawberry Balsamic, & lemon zest for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the whipped cream:
- By hand - Place 2” of ice in the bottom of a large bowl. Fill until just covered with cold water. Place a medium bowl on the ice with heavy cream & confectioner’s sugar. Begin whipping with a balloon whisk & add in the Basil Olive Oil slowly. Whip until soft peaks are formed & the cream is smooth.
- With a stand mixer- Whisk the heavy cream & sugar together; slowly drizzle in the oil. Whisk until soft peaks are formed & the cream is smooth. Watch the cream as this happens quickly!
